A lot of dog parents have witnessed ear inflammation and infection that were caused by using bad dog ear wipes and it has also happened to one of my dogs once.
I would not want any dog parent to go through the stress I went through when my dog had an ear infection and I would also be recommending the ear wipes I used when he had the ear infection.
In this post, we will be looking at different dog ear wipes you can use on different occasions like for cleaning a normal ear or for cleaning an ear with infection.
Vets best ear relief finger wipes
This dog ear wipe is used for normal ear cleaning. It is designed in a way that you can wear it on your finger which is very convenient and enables you to reach some hard areas.
It is made with witch hazel, aloe vera, and tea tree oil which help clean the ear and deodorize it. Witch hazel helps to dry up pus in the ear, and break up wax and other ear debris that clog your dog’s ear.
This ear wipe provides a soothing relief to the ear which is because of the aloe vera that it contains. These ear wipes do not contain paraben and other harmful ingredients. It is made in the US.

BEXLEY LABS curaseb medicated topical wipes
This is a good wipe you can use when your dog has an ear infection, it is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-yeast. I am not saying this is the only thing you should use for your dog’s ear infection, you should get a solution from your vet and you can use this to clean the ear before applying it.
I noticed this wipe does not really sting and I think it is because of the aloe vera and vitamin E which provide a soothing relief. The wipes are alcohol and paraben-free and have chlorhexidine gluconate 2% as its active ingredient.
It is vet-formulated and made in the US, and it is important you ask your vet before you use it.
